My understanding was that a 99.9% repair tool just improves your chances of repairing it to 99.9% of its current condition. You still have the same chance of completely failing the repair. So I would not bother trying that.

No guys, I wish I had such a rifle. I would be the happiest rifleman on any galaxy if I had that baby. I have just been thinking about exceptional weapons and was wondering if people would ever risk repairing one to get more damage out of it.
As for the anti-decay kit, yeah it does seem pretty unbalancing, but my understanding is that there are only a handful of exceptional weapons on each galaxy since the drop rate is so absurdly low (as it should be). I think that if you are lucky enough to actually have one of these, you should be able to make it anti-decay, (however the drop rate of exceptionals should then be even lower).

lol at staying afk overt in CNET. A Jedi could casually walk up to you and own you before you snuck one shot through his ranged profession killing saberblock.

If I looted that weapon...I'd anti-decay it and use it for a while then sell it and sell it for a lot...Kill a bunch of krayt and get a ton of tissues out of it and make some krayt t-21's and get a good damage slice then sell that baby for a TON.

I'd get it repaired but only with a 12 point weaponsmith with no BF. Then again I tried to get a weaponsmith to make me a Ackley Bone Survival Knife to fight Rancors with

Nexican, in your opinion, at what point should I stop using a rifle and set it aside to be repaired? Should I stop at the point when the DMG starts going down? Or if I have a T21 with 1194 Condition and I work it down to 125, should I just stop then? And will I get the original DMG back or am I stuck at this lower level?

read the changes related to the antidecay kit on TC. It will now reset the weapon to max condition. (will be retroactive)

Lets say that you are graced by the Devs enough to actually find a legandary T-21. Lets say like 500 - 2000 damage with mind fire DOT of 600, 100%+ potent, high strength, and over 10K uses. This is just a god sent, lets even say that you managed to geta 35% damage slice (thats the highest right?) so your just the luckiest person ever. Lets also say that the condition is 10/1000. Of course you would just put an anti-decay kit on it, but you know that if you sucessfully repaired the rifle you would even get more crazy damage out of it. Would you risk repairing the rifle (or having it repaired by a master weaponsmith with the best tools and skill tapes to up success chances)?

Repairing dropped weapons, even at extremely low condition, has never (in my experience, I may be wrong, but I have not once seen it) added to the damage of a weapon. Keep in mind, that's a dropped weapon I'm talking about. I have had weapons I've repaired -which have lost damage range due to condition- regain their original damage once repaired well, but never a looted weapon.
I'd say slice it and throw on a kit and be done with it. One of my guildmates got the grace of god on a damage slice with his rifle (legendary T-21, no dot, however) , putting its max damage to 3340ish. Now, I don't know about you, but I'm not taking the chance to foul a repair on that.
